1955 Map of Lewis Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Agricultural water management and ranching operations dominate this mid-century landscape along the border of Otero and Bent counties. The vast Horse Creek Reservoir (Timber Lake) serves as a central hub for a complex irrigation network designed to sustain the High Plains ranching economy. This infrastructure is evidenced by the massive Fort Lyon Storage Canal, numerous levee structures, and a network of watercourses including the Lewis Lateral and the Horse Creek Res Inlet Ditch.
